Accumulated Resentment
"So it was you. What brings you here to avenge your clan?" Jiang Zhuoxue continued, asking with certainty.
Sitting in the dark room, Wuyue Sha's expression changed the moment he heard his own surname. The sinister smile on his lips vanished instantly, and his previously smug expression became twisted and terrifying.
He stared intently at the scene transmitted from the two-way Image-Retaining Stone, at the two cultivators who showed no remorse, his hands gripping the armrests tighter and tighter, as if he could crush them at any moment.
Wuyue Sha glared with bloodshot eyes, a hoarse roar escaping her throat, "Shut up, shut up, shut up! It's all because of you, all because of you! If it weren't for you, how could I have fallen to this state?!"
He slammed his fist on the already cracked handrail, making a loud thud. Heaven knows how much he resented those two people—no, he should say all three!
If it weren't for those three meddling in other people's business, and if it weren't for those three helping the Yin Mountain Sect, the Moonless Household should have held a supreme position in Moonless City, and this city should have rightfully belonged to them!
Wuyue Sha will never forget that day when their new patriarch's plot to harm Sect Master Liu was exposed. Sect Master Liu was already old, and the Moonless Household dealt him a heavy blow. Even though the evil deeds were eventually exposed, the mistake had already been made.
As expected, that old codger couldn't hold on any longer. The once arrogant sect leader of the Yin Mountain Sect finally died at the hands of their Moonless Clan.
However, the Moonless Tribe did not rejoice because soon their patriarch was killed, and they were driven out of the city by Liu Duanyue and other forces, both large and small.
They left their hometown and their city, but fortunately, the Liu Household did not kill them all. After driving them away, they ignored them.
The Moonless Clan quickly found another suitable land to live on and built a new city there. This time, the Moonless Clan secured their position as city lords. Just as the new city was slowly developing, they thought they would live a life of power and influence in the new city.
They were once again ousted from power by a new force in the city.
At that time, Wuyue Sha was already tainted by Curse. He barely escaped the annihilation and then changed his name to the character "Sha".
He wanted to remember the humiliation of being expelled twice, and to remember what these people had done to their Moonless Clan!
They were the ones who built the city, yet they colluded with outsiders to abandon its owner twice.
When the Curse erupted and Wuyue Sha was in so much pain that he was about to faint, the woman appeared in front of him and reached out her hand to him.
At that time, Wuyue Sha was on the verge of death due to the Curse, and what the other party offered, even if it wasn't an olive branch, could still be considered a lifeline. Wuyue Sha did not refuse, nor did he have any reason to refuse.
With her help, he quickly stabilized the Curse and learned the mysterious Cultivation Method she taught him. At her suggestion, he founded the Sun-Chasing Hall, recruiting those afflicted with the Curse and deceiving them into working for him.
Yes, deception.
The Curse cannot be removed; this is something Wuyue Sha understands all too well.
Fortunately, he wasn't the only one in the world afflicted by the Curse; many others shared his suffering.
Wuyue Sha was quite lucky. When he was young, the Moonless Household was at its peak, so he was given a puppetry Cultivation Method by fortuitous opportunity. However, at that time he was only interested in enjoying himself and never thought that he would fall on hard times, so he didn't take the Cultivation Method seriously.
When he lost power and picked up the Cultivation Method again, he realized that he was actually born to learn Puppet Technique.
Puppet Technique helped him control the undead, while the Devil Artifact brought by the woman could extract souls. With these two items, he secretly cultivated the lower-ranking Hongyi Apostle into undead, and then controlled them with puppet threads.
This newly emerged species was so powerful that Wuyue Sha found it terrifying, but the woman was quite satisfied with it.
The thought that he could use the living corpses to control the entire Hidden Nether Realm made Wuyue Sha feel that all the suffering he had endured in the past had been rewarded.
He deliberately set up the headquarters underground in the Yin Mountain Sect. Although this was more troublesome and dangerous, the most dangerous place is often the safest place. Over the years, the power of the Sun-Chasing Hall has continued to expand, but no one has ever discovered its hiding place.
As the number of zombies grew, Wuyue Sha thought his plan could continue smoothly, but then Sang Ying and her group appeared!
He will never forget those two faces, he will never forget them!
The Moonless Clan resented the existence of Sang Ying and her two companions, and specially commissioned the best painter in the clan to paint their faces. They firmly believed that these three would one day return to Moonless City, and that the descendants of the Moonless Clan would help them wash away their past shame.
Having finished reminiscing, Wuyue Sha's gaze returned to the people in front of him. He raised his finger, commanding more zombies to surge towards the two.
In an instant, not only the undead inside the bunker, but also those outside the bunker began to rush towards the two of them.
This strange phenomenon immediately alerted Liu Duanyue on the ground. "What does this mean? Why are those zombies heading straight into the bunker?"
"Oh no! Fellow Daoist Sang and the others are still inside. These zombies are definitely heading for them!" Duan Hanyi immediately realized.
Upon hearing this, Liu Duanyue didn't dare to delay and immediately called her son over, "Something has happened in the bunker, so don't wait for Fellow Daoist Sang and the others to finish everything. Since these zombies are controlled by Puppet Technique, don't harm them; find a way to sever the puppet strings!"
Liu Chengzhi accepted his father's instructions and immediately led Zhou Xuan and the others, along with the disciples of the Yin Mountain Sect, to set out.
Although the puppet silk was tough and difficult to detect, it still existed. Since one person could not withstand the living corpse, Liu Chengzhi ordered two people to work together to suppress one living corpse.
Although this method was a bit slow, it was effective. Working together, the two actually found the puppet threads on the zombie and removed them one by one.
But this method was still too slow. After taking down another zombie using the method her son had taught her, Liu Duanyue's gaze toward the bunker entrance gradually deepened.
I hope nothing bad happens to Sang Ying and the others!
On the other side, Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue were also getting fed up with the endless stream of zombies. They were not given any chance to catch their breath. Several times, Floating River Sword saw its master almost get injured. If it hadn't been for Sang Ying's order not to hurt anyone, it would have been unsheathed and unleashed its power long ago.
Jiang Zhuoxue dodged the zombie's claws once again. He flipped over a few times, jumped onto the high wall behind him, and moved left and right until he reached the highest watchtower in the entire bunker.
"Sang Ying, I'm starting now." Jiang Zhuoxue nodded to the people below.
Upon hearing this, Sang Ying immediately activated the heavenly lightning within her body, creating an absolutely safe area to protect the two of them.
Soon, an invisible shockwave swept through the entire bunker.
